The astrophysical rapid neutron capture process or 'r process' of nucleosynthesis is believed
to be responsible for the production of approximately half the heavy element abundances …

The rapid neutron capture process (r process) is believed to be responsible for about half of
the production of the elements heavier than iron and contributes to abundances of some …

Background: r-process nucleosynthesis models rely, by necessity, on nuclear structure
models for input. Particularly important are β-decay half-lives of neutron-rich nuclei. At …

Comparing observational abundance features with nucleosynthesis predictions of stellar
evolution or explosion simulations, we can scrutinize two aspects:(a) the conditions in the …

In-flight separators have played a significant role in the physics of exotic nuclei. In the last
decade, in particular, this field has expanded rapidly with the advent of the new-generation …

The large-scale shell-model calculations have been performed for the neutron-rich nuclei in
the south region of Pb 208 in the nuclear chart. The β-decay properties, such as the log ft …

Abstract β-decay half-life and β-delayed neutron emission (β n) are of great importance in
the development of basic science and industrial applications, such as nuclear physics and …

Nuclear weak rates in stellar environments are obtained by taking into account recent
advances in shell-model studies of spin-dependent excitation modes in nuclei including …

The β decays from both the ground state and a long-lived isomer of In 133 were studied at
the ISOLDE Decay Station (IDS). With a hybrid detection system sensitive to β, γ, and …

The β-delayed neutron emission probabilities of neutron rich Hg and Tl nuclei have been
measured together with β-decay half-lives for 20 isotopes of Au, Hg, Tl, Pb, and Bi in the …
